DLA for an Autistic Child

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for advice on behalf of a friend. They have an Autistic Child and are looking to apply for DLA. My experience with benefits focuses on mobility issues so I could do with some guidance and advice from parents or carers of an autistic child.
A few questions I have:
- How have you made a form that focuses on physical disability to work for autism?
- What information should be included?
- How best to explain the needs of an autistic child?
- Is there any information we may not think to include that could be really useful/important?
Thank you so much to anyone who responds. This family deserves the best support.
I hope you're all having as good a day as possible!

Citizen's Advice have a page that helps you fill out the DLA form, it also has a specific guide that relates to Autism and DLA.
I hope this is helpful.
